I'll put up an upload for all the AANC spaceships in a moment. Right now though, spaceplanes. Unavoidable-Type Air Launched Orbital Interceptor http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/9181/unavoidable.png Because many AANC member states lack a well developed industrial infrastructure and because the spac...

I'd have to say that I think it's more like trying to paint an extremely unattractive object, such as a bucket full of chicken viscera, in a supremely unflattering art style, like as cubism. From the outset the result is inevitably going to be such that analyzing it by purely aesthetic standards is ...

I'm loving these ships though very unique, it makes me want to build my own in the same "world" to compete. But you're gonna run out of adjectives starting with "i" eventually. The for your information I'll provide you with some factoids about the "world" idea I had fo...

Whilst those parts are completely sound sprite work I'd have to say that I think it would be a waste of effort to make any more sections in that style unless you personally have a specific intended purpose for them. I say this because they aren't even remotely similar to any existing style, which pr...

OH I SEE MY BLATANT ERROR NOW.

This is what happens when you re-edit a paragraph at 3am and don't proof read. Thanks for that one.

Why yes they are new sprites. Here they are, these are they. I felt the need to differentiate between the two opposing forces' autocannon weapons. http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/72/hmbiggun.gif http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/5382/hmacceleratorcannon.gif And I'm fairly sure that I used that t...

Here are some individual spaceship preview images along with some passable background and descriptions of each. Because I said I would ages ago and then didn't. The AANC The Alliance of Autonomous Nations and Colonies is an alliance consisting of space habitats with autonomous governments , independ...

I think that the one word that for me best sums up the gut wrenching levels of delusion, ignorance, paranoia and downright zealotry expressed by conspiracy theorists is Zeitgeist . I don't think that I've ever ever seen any piece of media that was made with the goal to convince that fails so utterly...

That is what you said. The part that made me think you were talking about the whole dog fight thing is this one. "all the kids these days get their erroneous ideas about what a "realistic" depiction of space combat is" Now, to my knowledge, the only scene in mass effect that sho...

My point there was that your previous statement was asserting an absurdly unwarranted conclusion. The conclusion being that I was for some reason talking about space fighters in spite of the following points: 1) At no point in the topic did anyone ever mention space fighters 2) Space fighters aren't...

I don't know how exactly you got "bombastic dogfights" out of a discussion of the physical dilemmas and logistical problems involved in planetary bombardment and long distance space combat. At this point I have no idea who you're actually talking to. You're the only person in this thread ...

You seem to have missed my point there. I invoked mass effect because it's what all the kids these days get their erroneous ideas about what a "realistic" depiction of space combat is, and that the content of your post echos that. And I don't know why you're telling me about railguns, I kn...

Extremely heavy projectiles being accelerated by electomagnetic means to high fractions of c? I think you took the codex entries in mass effect to seriously, Noctis.
